I'm Tired. (3/2)

I'm getting my classroom ready and I have to make a lot of things. I am speaking a lot of Spanish and thinking very hard so that I can understand. I am trying to get to know others by being very friendly. And I want to spend time with Deb's parents, Bob and Sylvia. But by the end of the day I am very tired. I will go to bed shortly.

But I need to describe my experience with Spanish. I feel that I speak rather well for a foreigner and I get lots of compliments from the teachers here. (They are nice to me.) But today we had a staff meeting IN SPANISH. I worked so hard to understand everything I could. But when it was over I had so many questions! I talked with some of the others in English, and that helped me understand better. But, I was working so hard at understanding, I got a headache. I need to be patient and keep practicing. I won't get perfect in one day. But little by little.... I keep telling myself. :o)
